Overview

In the popular horror-comedy Tremors, it's not what's under the sun you've got to look out for -- it's what's under the ground. Universal has done a fair job on this 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen transfer. While it's disappointing that this film wasn't given anamorphic treatment, this is a still a very nice transfer with sharp colors and well-defined black levels. The picture is crisp and detailed with a minimum of grain, dirt, and edge enhancement. The audio is presented in Dolby Surround and is only moderate. Tremors is a film that could have easily benefited from a 5.1 remix. Sadly, fans are stuck with this lackluster Dolby Surround mix that has some channel separation, though the bulk of the soundtrack is still filtered mainly through the center speaker. Also included on this disc are Spanish subtitles, English captions, and Dolby Surround soundtracks in French and Spanish. What Tremors lacks in the technical department, it makes up for in its supplements. This edition of Tremors starts off with an almost hour-long documentary on the making of the film. This is a great retrospective that features lots of behind-the-scenes footage, as well as interviews with much of the cast and crew from the film. A collection of deleted scenes and outtakes are featured in a rough full-frame version that should please fans. A short production featurette is basically one large promotional trailer for the film, though it does include a few insightful interviews with some of the cast and crew. Finally, there are some production notes, some interview profiles on select cast and crew members, a short gallery of production stills, two full frame theatrical trailers for Tremors, and a theatrical trailer for the sequel Tremors 2: Aftershocks.

Editorial Reviews

Tremors is a refreshing, energetic, genre-bending farce which pays homage to 1950s B-movies the likes of The Blob (1958), Them! (1954), and Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954). Working from a clever script, director Ron Underwood perfectly captures the dim, pulpy tone of the horror-adventures, without ever resorting to patronizing parody. Tremors retains enough of the genre's conventions to make the film work on a genuinely suspenseful level -- he elicits effective B-movie thrills while poking fun at them. A good deal of credit for the wry tone should go to Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, who deliver marvelously whimsical, "straight" performances as the film's bumpkin heroes. The special effects and stunts are impressive: despite their intentional preposterousness, the giant worms are appropriately scary. The film was enough of a cult hit to warrant a direct-to-video sequel in 1995, named Tremors II: Aftershocks.

What a funny, cleverly-written film this is! The old genre of those wonderful old monster films has been revived in ''Tremors'' written by Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson. The dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny in places, as they say. The whole story seems almost bizarrely plausible -- wormlike creatures threaten an isolated desert community of somewhat oddball characters. Is this a commentary on our Age of Anxiety? An environmental comment as Nature strikes back? Who knows and who really cares as the characterizations are right-on and the dialogue is funny. The portrayals of desert rat characters are the best part of the film. ''Tremors'' has become something of a minor cult favorite. And, it's not so scary young people couldn't enjoy it although the slimy grossness of the characters gets a little . . . umm, gross and intense at times. The best thing I can say about ''Tremors'' is that unlike most low-budget films, you can watch this a second time and really enjoy it. There's a sequel, ''Tremors 2,'' also on video which is nearly as good. Rent it, buy it, enjoy it in a dark room with a big ol' tub of buttered popcorn.

The movies ''Tremors 1 2 and 3'' are some of the best movies on TV. Though its been a while since I've seen the movie, I have been watching the series on SciFi at 8:00 pm on Fridays.

I thought Tremors was a good movie. Before watching it I thought it would be a dumb flick. Come on now, man-eating worms, it had all the makings for a really bad movie. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie was actually very entertaining. The story line was unique and the acting added to the suspense. Tremors is not just a regular scary movie, it also hadsome pretty humorous scenes.I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for an entertaining flick.
